901B, and 49 0378 400C) to the low clutch
pressure inspection port (D and M range line
pressures) or reverse clutch pressure
inspection port (R position line pressure).
(4) Start the engine and warm it up until the ATF
reaches 60—70 °C {140—158 °F}.
(5) Shift the selector lever to D range.

2. Engine stall speed.
Caution
•Perform the line pressure test at engine idling prior to performing the test at engine stall. If line
pressure is low at idle, do not perform the test at engine stall or further transaxle damage will
occur.
(1) Replace the SST (49 B019 901B) with the gauge of the SST (49 0378 400C).
(2) Start the engine.
Caution
•Do not maintain WOT in any gear range for more than 5 seconds or transaxle damage will occur.
(3) Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal to the
floor (WOT) with the right.
(4) When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the line pressure and release the accelerator
pedal.
(5) Shift the selector lever to N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.
(6) Read the line pressure at the engine stall speed for the remaining ranges in the same manner.

Stall Speed Test
1. Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See K2–72 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
2. Connect a tachometer.
3. Start the engine.
4. Shift the selector lever to D range.
Caution
•Do not maintain WOT in any gear range for more than 5 seconds or transaxle damage will occur.
•If engine speed recorded by the tachometer exceeds maximum specified rpm, release the
accelerator pedal immediately. Clutch or band slippage is indicator.
5. Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and gently depress the accelerator pedal to the floor (WOT)
with the right.
6. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the engine speed and release the accelerator pedal.
7. Shift the selector the to N position and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF.

Time Lag Test
1. Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See K2–72 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
2. Start the engine.
3. Warm up the engine until the ATF temperature reaches 60—70°C {140—158°F}. Shift the selector lever from N
position to D range.
4. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes from shifting until engagement is felt. Take three measurements
for each test and average the results using the following formula.
Formula
Average time lag = (Time 1 + Time 2 + Time 3) / 3
5. Perform the test for the following shifts in the same manner.
•N position → P position
Time lag
N → D range ... approx. 0.5—1.0 second

Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection
Caution
•The ATF amount varies according to ATF's temperature. Therefore, when checking the ATF level or
replacing the ATF, use a thermometer to measure the temperature then adjust the ATF amount to
the specified level according to the specified temperature.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks securely to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
3. Adjust the length of the thermistor probe measure to the measure same as the dipstick and hold the probe with
a paper holder.
4. Insert into the filler tube and measure the
temperature.
5. Warm up the engine until the ATF reaches (60—
70 °C {140—158 °F}).
Caution
•Do not warm the transaxle by performing
stalls. This will damage the torque
converter.
Note
•In some cases it may be necessary to
inspect the ATF in the cool range 15—25 °C
{59—77 °F} before warming up the engine.
6. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to each range (P—M), pausing momentarily in each
range.
7. Shift back to P position.
Note
•If the ATF level is too high or too low in hot condition, the following problems may be the cause.
8. While the engine is idling, verify that the ATF level
is in the HOT (65 °C {149 °F}) range. Add the
ATF specified type of, if necessary. (See K2–80

Operating Inspection (On-Vehicle)
1. Disconnect the terminal component No.1
connector.
Caution
•Do not apply battery positive voltage to

Note
•Because the operation sound of the valves is
small, inspect in a quiet place.
2. Apply battery positive voltage to terminals A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, I and battery negative voltage to
GND, and verify that operating sound is heard
from solenoid.
•If the “click” is not heard, inspect the transaxle harness.
—If the transaxle harness is okay, perform the resistance inspection (off-vehicle inspection).
—If there is a problem, repair or replace the transaxle harness.
3. Connect the terminal component No.1 connector.
